Almost lost a Bold....

I;ve not long been a Bold owner and decided this week to dable in the 5.0 OS.... well..

I wiped the phone and was all going well the 5.0 OS was great....

I then decided to downgrade and revert back to 4.6.0.282 as I wanted my apps to work and I dont have the exe yet for the .291 OS... well thats when the fun started..

I wiped the device back to 507 Screen using BBSAK and attempted to use the loader to reload the device using the loader app... and nothing... all I got was the FATAL error messge... no sweat I though and decided to reboot the phone and PC and try again....

No joy... trying to keep calm and wonder if my new bold was now a very expensive paperweight.. I went on the hunt for a solution and came across this link

When i did my very first OS upgrade i was watching and watching the hourglass go in circles waiting and wondering if this was a mistake :laugh2: But it wasn't i have changed OS a few times w.o no problem at all, hope i don't gynx myself tonite :1244:.

Well, I almost lost my Bold too today! I tried to downgrade from 5 (130) to .282 since Beejive won't work on that version, on a different computer then the one I upgraded from. Bricked my Berry! It's only when I came home today, and used BBSAK to load OS, did it load the OS back again! Whew!
Only thing is, it loaded OS 5 again. I'm too scared to downgrade, now that my Berry is up and running again.

Many thanks for all the help guys! I have now successfully downloaded to .282 and am happy! I will upgrade only when the new OS is available officially! It was quite a frightening experience to see my Bold turn into a brick!
